That is such fng revisionist history. Mitt was elected as Governor of Massachusetts in 2002. By 2004, he had taken a HARD right turn, reversing his opinion on choice, gay rights, stem cell research and taxes.

It was very clear that he considered being our governor a stepping stone to the Presidency.

1. Good to know that in repub politics two votes outweigh ten. The other Romneys must have been given the wrong date for the vote.2. Of course there was a better candidate for president of the United States, and Romney knows it. His name is Barack Obama.

Which is sort of sad, considering how hard he had to work at getting the Governor's seat. Then again, for Romney it was less about the office, but more about the power to swing dollars into the right hands, which has been his MO for a good number of years. Romney has never been one to lead, so much as bird dog cash, and steer said dollars into the hands of those who put him in front. From the UMaine board days, to the Olympics, to the Governor's seat, the one true sign for his leadership has been "For Sale."

Over the Christmas break of 2010, Mitt Romney and his family took an internal poll on whether he should run for president once more. Twelve family members cast ballots. Ten said no. One of the 10 was Mitt Romney himself.

THEN WHY THE FARK DID YOU HAVE A VOTE?!?!?!

Seriously, what's the point of having the family vote if you're going to let 1/5 of the voters make the decision for you, even to the point of going against your OWN choice?

Motherfarker, what is this shiat that he "didn't want to run?" When 9 out of 12 members tell you it's a bad idea, and you run anyway, you want to run. He's was just a core-less, undisciplined politician who ran a shiatty campaign and is still in shock that his information vacuum was wholly inaccurate.
